Would strongly recommend Daniel Marwecki’s Germany and Israel: Whitewashing and Statebuilding on this topic (at least thru the Merkel years).

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

A water desalination plant is presumptively a civilian object & it is an object indispensable to survival.

Targeting a civilian object is a war crime.

Targeting an object indispensable to survival can implicate the starvation war crime.

I think it makes a lot of cis, straight people deeply uncomfortable to remember just how queerphobic society was, because a lot of them mostly went along with it in public, no matter how they might have personally felt about it.

I generally try hard not to indulge in any kind of doomerism. But this shit… betting on war, betting on death - all fully legal and pushed down our throats by our tech elite overlords… It’s just so fucking infuriating.

The worst people on the planet are determining the trajectory of our species.

It feels like the United States has the most solipsistic culture imaginable, with a populace unable to parse global events through any lens other than how they are personally affected.

The Trump-Netanyahu war on Iran is a reckless and criminal military gamble driven by their respective domestic political considerations.

Solidarity with civilians across the Middle East, many of whom living under regimes they oppose, who are paying the price for this reckless adventure.

Jenseits der AbsurditΓ€t der Aussage kann man πŸ‘‡ sehen, wie der dt. Entlastungsdiskurs funktioniert. Einerseits rechtfertigt man mit der SingularitΓ€t des Holocaust die kritiklose Haltung zu Israel, andererseits relativiert man Schuld der Vorfahren, die nicht mehr singulΓ€r bΓΆse sind

back in the day you'd expose the fundamental rot at the core of a society by writing a satirical novella but now people just post collections of screenshots from twitter. we're truly living After The Fall

A Request for Impetus Good friends are looking for podcast funding

A project I've been involved with the past few years is almost done, but it needs funding to get over the hump.

I'm physically incapable of fundraising, so instead I wrote up a brief post about what it is and why it would great if you threw the project a few dollars.

I really It's kinda weird how the "The left hates technology (because AI)" mostly come from people whose experience with tech is on the level of vibecoding and the "left" they criticize consists to a significant part of people who've been actually building and maintaining systems for decades.
